I don't understand your reasoning there.

GPL is about distribution, not use. This is why GPL apps that pop up screens that require you to accept the licence before using it indicate the authors don't understand the GPL.

Why would you need the source if someone else SSH's onto your machine? Are you distributing a binary?
